Zusammenfassung:"George Bellows (1882-1925) was a painter, illustrator and printmaker. His career already established, in late 1915 he turned to lithography. Over the next nine years he almost single-handedly elevated lithography to a fine art in America. The inherent flexibility of the process, its potential for drawing in vigorous strokes and its richness of tone were well suited to his style. The subjects that fascinated him range from intimate studies of his family and friends to snap shots of American life, the atrocities of World War I and what first caught the public's attention: boxing. All were new and undeniably American. George Bellows: American Life in Print features two essays. Firstly "George Bellows: Advocate for Lithography" followed by an in depth examination of sixty-six lithographs and drawings. The second essay explores the artist's rise to fame in "George Bellows and the 'Art Palace of the West,'" focusing on his long term relationship with the Cincinnati Art Museum and its Annual Exhibition of American Art."
